Bones The structure The imprint. The land that was slain Reborn into figures of man Daughters and sons Redefined Forgotten warriors whose feet rage wars within our hearts Expanding our drums stay lit Pulsing through our veins as we dance Babylons’ dance Our drums stay lit Honouring the songs our mothers sang Immortalising the blood which fell A million stories to tell The oceans sings: Bones bones bones Upon this western shore Our drums will stay lit

Am I less Am I less Am I less Am I less of a poet because I allow other bodies to translate my words across stages. I feel the tremors in my soul scream satisfied when unified bodies gleam in choral. I like it this way. It makes sense to me. It bathes me. Or am I just running as you say?

Whilst our demons chase us in broad daylight, our screams go unheard. Sounds alike to the wind howling at the rains thud. These demons sound habitual bruh. When will they sound down. Sound out • dkfash

🍂Can I say something? Even if it peels every fibre in your reality off your skin bit by bit? Can I say something? Even if it lights you up into a million pieces and you become our new nights sky? Either or... Can I say something and mean it? Open up my deepest fears and swim, shallow. Can I say something? Even when it sparks you and burns me in the process? Can we say something? Anything... truthful.

I write because...

. . .

Space

Time 

I write because

…

Lack of time 

No space 

Mumbles in the dark

Threads which need untangling 

I write because

You’re overthinking  it now

You’re not thinking enough

I write because 

Voices are silent 

My voice is silent

And sometimes I want to scream and letters fall out

I write because stories make me orgasm

Are fun

Are wild

Can re-invent 

Shift

Nurture 

Healing 

Help me….

Heal

I write becasue

Its water

I write because

I can

I want to 

Sometimes I need to. 

I write because who else will say what happened

Has happened..will happen

I write because 

Fears feel better on paper 

I write because

Therapy - I guess?

I’m hoping we can get back to us. We’re speaking yet the silence is deafening. Mouths moving with empty handshakes. This sh*t is polite. In a place where I know I want you but can’t feel you. How do we get back...
